Have you always wanted to experience the thrill of hitting the open road with an expired driver's license? Probably not. But if so, now is the time to do it.

In an effort to limit in-person interactions at Service Ontario locations, the provincial government has extended the validity of driver’s licences, health cards and other government issued permits and products that expired on or after March 1 this year.

The list of licenses and products covered by the extension includes:

• Drivers licences and licence plate stickers

• Accessible parking permits

• Health cards

• Ontario photo cards

• 10-day special permits and temporary validation

• The requirement to register a vehicle within six days

• The requirement to change address or vehicle modification within six days

• Safety Standards Certificate and Structural Inspection Certificate

Anyone who has received a renewal notice for a card, sticker or other product expiring on or after March 1 can disregard it until the province says otherwise.

As part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provincial government has closed or reduced the business hours of more than 100 Service Ontario locations and is asking people to avoid visiting locations unless it is absolutely necessary.

Ontarians who still wish to renew a driver's licence, licence plate sticker, health card, fishing, hunting or other licence can still do so online.
